Started gently falling about 2pm while we were in Collingbourne Ducis (Wilts) this afternoon, was falling fast enough by the time we left at 5pm to keep the washer pump & wipers quite active all the way back here, and it's still properly coming down now.

I like snow,especially at the weekend it can bugger off come monday though

I am looking out of our bedroom window watching the different driving styles

Foot down hoping there tyres will grip seems to be the winner at the minute.....

It does lead me to think that some sort of lesson in snow conditions should be part of our driving lessons/test.

It would make sense to have maybe a session of skidpad training?

Just got back from walking Holly dog in the woods.....theres nearly an inch on the ground.....she likes the snow 

Guess it will be gone in the morning tho.....rain is forecast later on this evening....with temps just above 0c.

[Omega_Dan]

It will be about tomorrow but that will be it. Probably 4 or 5 inches on the ground. Didn't expect this much although we are quite high up here.

[feeutfo]

About half an inch here so far. Steady as she goes.

[hoofing it]

Yeah, so I see, snow in Scotland and Cumbria by mid day sat, dwn to the midlands and the west by dusk.

Your early Paul.

If your up the highlands yes. none in the central belt

[waspy]

[Plomien]

How come those of us who learnt to drive a few years ago (17 in my case) didn't need special teaching for these kinds of things? I remember getting a few words of advice from my dad the first winter I was driving (in my Allegro ) - use 2nd gear to pull away, gentle on the controls and don't snatch the clutch as you change down while braking - and everything was fine, even though my journey to work was 30 miles on largely untreated roads?

Is it that drivers are worse, or that modern cars with electronic wizardry mean nobody needs to know how to drive, or simply that it was easier for people back then as we had half the power available to us even compared to most young folks 'first' cars today..

I blame the parents. It's always the parents.


Still just a dusting here, nothing to write home about really.

Took this about half an hour ago. After pushing a bedFord rascal up the road!
